The widely accepted need to reduce the world's dependence on fossil fuels and move instead to low-carbon, renewable alternatives faces a host of challenges. Whilst the greatest challenges remain in engineering, political and public policy issues continue to play a very important role. This volume, which consists of contributions from leading figures in the field, presents the case for a Sustainable Energy Trade Agreement (SETA). It shows that by addressing barriers to trade in goods and services relevant for the supply of clean energy, such an agreement would foster the crucial scaling-up of clean energy supply and promote a shift away from fossil fuels. In doing so it illustrates how the agreement would help to address a number of overarching sustainable development priorities, including the urgent threat of climate change, enhanced energy access and improved energy security. The book will appeal to academics and policymakers working on the interface of trade and energy policy.

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk meneliti penggunaan energi dan faktor utama yang mempengaruhi intensitas emisi karbon dari perusahaan manufaktur dengan menggunakan data industri manufaktur besar dan sedang periode 2011-2014. Meskipun sektor makanan dan minuman barang logam, elektronik, mesin dan barang galian bukan logam adalah sektor utama dengan penggunaan energi terbesar, hanya sektor barang galian bukan logam yang menunjukkan memiliki energi intensitas tertinggi. Sedangkan sektor makanan dan minuman dan barang logam, elektronik dan mesin memiliki intensitas energi yang rendah dikarenakan nilai tambah yang tinggi. Dengan menggunakan metode OLS, 2SLS, dan fixed-effect dalam meneliti determinan intensitas emisi karbon, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa manufaktur besar lebih rendah dan efisien dalam mengeluarkan emisi dibandingkan manufaktur kecil. Selain itu, tenaga kerja dan jumlah modal memiliki pengaruh negatif terhadap tingkat intensitas emisi karbon. Sedangkan tingkat biaya untuk pemeliharaan mesin memiliki pengaruh positif terhadap intensitas emisi karbon. Hal ini dimungkinkan karena pemakaian mesin canggih yang memerlukan biaya pemeliharaan tinggi cenderung dilakukan oleh sektor industri yang emisi-intensif. ......Using a firm-level dataset from the Indonesian large and medium manufacturing sector, this paper investigates the energy usage performance and the main factors that are related to carbon dioxide emission intensity of manufacturing firms, from 2011 to 2014. Although food, beverages; fabricated metal and machinery; and non-metallic mineral are three primary energy-intensive sectors, only the latter had high energy intensity. Meanwhile food industry and fabricated metal and machinery show low energy intensity due to their high value-added. This paper also presents an estimation of carbon dioxide emission due to fuels consumption of firms. During the period of study, the trend of carbon emission has increased, but the carbon emission intensity has shown improvement. Performing panel data framework, this study uses OLS, 2SLS, and fixed effect model in analysing the determinants of CO2 intensity. The result of the FE regressions suggests that larger firms are emission efficient compared to small sized firms. Similarly, capital- and labor-intensive firms are less-carbon intensive. Furthermore, firms that spend more on maintenance have emitted more. This perhaps due to the adoption of high maintenance equipment by emission-intensive firms that requires for more expanses.

ABSTRACT
Interdisciplinary in its approach and global in its perspective, Energy Systems and Sustainability: Power for a Sustainable Future, Second Edition, provides a contemporary exploration of the economic, social, environmental, and policy issues raised by current systems of energy use. Emphasizing the important issue of sustainability, it analyzes the historical evolution of the world's energy systems, the principles underlying their use, and their present status and future prospects. Beginning with a survey of basic energy concepts, the book describes the magnitude and patterns of human energy needs at various levels. It moves on to an overview of the fossil and nuclear-fuelled energy that, together with hydroelectric power and traditional biofuels, supply most of the world's commercial energy needs. Sections on economics describe the basic methods through which the monetary costs of energy are calculated, also considering the "external" costs of energy production. Finally, the book looks at the sustainability issues associated with both fossil- and nuclear-fuel use--and considers the technological advancements and social developments that might solve these problems. Providing a truly interdisciplinary approach, Energy Systems and Sustainability: Power for a Sustainable Future, Second Edition, is ideal for undergraduate engineering students and undergraduates studying policy making.

Dangerous CO2 emissions, massive oil spills, dwindling supplies the problems with fossil fuels are driving a longoverdue reassessment of our nation's energy policies. U.S. Congressman Jerry McNerney, a renewable energy engineer and the first representative with expertise in energy independence, leads the way to change. In "Clean Energy Nation", he and journalist Martin Cheek make an impassioned argument for drastically reducing dependency on fossil fuels and developing sustainable, readily available energy sources solar, wind, biofuel, geothermal, and hydrogen-based power. Bringing together a rare combination of scientific knowledge, political savvy, and insightful journalism, the authors reveal the pros and cons of alternative energy sources and examine how our nation became addicted to fossil fuels in the first place. The book reads like the dramatic story it is, complete with dire projections about peak oil and grim scenarios of rising oceans! keen insights into policies and players that have stalled progress on climate change and favored big oil!and astute recommendations for building a clean energy economy and a prosperous, stable future.

This book presents a complete review of the unique instruments and the communication technologies utilized in downhole drilling environments. These instruments and communication technologies play a critical role in drilling hydrocarbon wells safely, accurately and efficiently into a target reservoir zone by acquiring information about the surrounding geological formations as well as providing directional measurements of the wellbore. Research into instruments and communication technologies for hydrocarbon drilling has not been explored by researchers to the same extent as other fields, such as biomedical, automotive and aerospace applications. Therefore, the book serves as an opportunity for researchers to truly understand how instruments and communication technologies can be used in a downhole environment and to provide fertile ground for research and development in this area. A look ahead, discussing other technologies such as micro-electromechanical-systems (MEMS) and fourth industrial revolution technologies such as automation, the industrial internet of things (IIoT), artificial intelligence, and robotics that can potentially be used in the oil/gas industry are also presented, as well as requirements still need to be met in order to deploy them in the field.

ABSTRACT
This paper investigates the enviromental and economic impacts of introducing CO2 taxation on carbon-based fuels using a detailed disaggregation of energy-economy-enviromental CGE model for Indonesia. The carbon tax has yet to beimplemented in Indonesia. However, this instrument has been considered in the ministry of finance report as one of the goverment's fiscal strategic framework to finance the country's action plan in commitments to reduce the GHG emissions. Suppose that the goverment levies the tax of Rp.100,000/ton CO2e under two possible revenue-recycling scenarios: the carbon tax revenue is recycled troght a reduction of labour income tax rate or an incrase of goverment spending on commodities. For comparison purpose, we also implement the non-compensated scenario of which the additional revenue from carbon tax is kept as goverment savings to run budget surplus. Overall, the results suggested that the carbon tax reduces the national emissions but adding more cost to the economy, resulting a fall in GDP. in term of income distribution, the carbon tax tends to be progressive in bth scenarios of revenue-recycling. However, when there is no compensating mechanism, the carbon tax tends to be reggresive - the poorer houshols carry a higher share of the carbon tax burden.
